On: Exploit custom codecs to write inline C in Python

Indeed it is. Guido himself maintained a project called Pyxl3 [1] for a while (forked from one at Dropbox during his tenure there) that abused this codec feature to implement something similar to JSX within Python source.

Kinda sad when you think that CL could implement this feature in a pretty simple macro.
